| Comments |
Kazakhstan's own Banknote Factory in Almaty, operational from 1997, printed this note — one of the earliest high-denomination issues to come entirely from domestic production rather than a European security printer. The factory's establishment was itself a deliberate post-Soviet assertion of financial infrastructure, and the 5000 Tenge was among the first notes to test its output at the top of the denomination range.
Security provision on this issue is relatively minimal by late-1990s standards — watermark and thread only, no optically variable ink or microprinting — reflecting the factory's capabilities at the time rather than any particular policy decision.
